Many ordinary people, especially those who live near Yuhu County, bought some vegetable oil and tofu to put back because the price was relatively cheap.As for the big families, not to mention, they bought early to prepare for the upcoming New Year.In addition, there is another thing in the Jin State Mansion that sells particularly well, which makes people blush.It's honeycomb coal.Although it has not snowed yet, the weather is already very cold, if it is changed in previous years, the rich and noble families in Chang'an naturally buy a lot of dry firewood and charcoal to prepare, but now when the Jin State Mansion is mining coal, by the way, the coal stove, the people of the Wu family will call the coal coal, and promote it.It is naturally very convenient to burn in this coal stove, but there is also a simpler and cheaper fuel, which is honeycomb coal.You only need to buy one or make a stove yourself, and you can easily use honeycomb coal to boil water, cook or something.Moreover, this honeycomb coal is not as expensive as charcoal or even dry firewood.You don't need to keep looking at the fire yet.Therefore, honeycomb coal, which is already very popular, is bought by many people when the weather turns cold.The villagers at the edge of the coal mine were also very happy.There is not much fertile land near this coal mine, and in previous years, after the autumn harvest, after paying the rent, there was hardly much food left in the family, let alone money.Since the Jin government bought the coal mine, it hired nearby villagers as miners.Although mining coal in the mine is quite tiring, the remuneration is not low, and the Jin State Mansion also has two meals a day, and it also attaches great importance to safety measures.In the cold winter, these miners can also buy back honeycomb coal at a very low price.Ever since they arrived at the mine, these people have always felt like they were in a sweet dream, and they hope that they will never wake up from this dream.Therefore, although the people of the Jin State Mansion repeatedly said that this was the mine of the Son of Heaven, the villagers were really in contact with the people of the Jin State Mansion, and when they praised the Son of Heaven and the Holy Ming, they also regarded the Wu family as a bodhisattva who rescued the suffering.In addition, after hearing about the Wenchang Bookstore, these people who rely on coal mines for food and support their families have already abandoned the impression of Wu Licheng's original traitor, and instead think that he is hated by villains and poured dirty water to spread rumors, so he has such a stigma.Of course, there is some truth in these people's ideas, but part of the reason is that the Wu family did it deliberately.These people have changed their opinion of Wu Licheng, but it doesn't mean that everyone is like this.Especially when watching the Jin State Mansion rely on so much business and make money every day, there are few people in Chang'an who are not jealous.Let's not talk about vegetarian oil, tofu, and bookstores, after all, to a large extent, they have to test skills that they have never seen before, and most of these people can only stare dryly.Even so, now that some people have learned how to engrav and print, they have also bought bamboo paper and can start printing books.There are also some people who have guessed the raw materials of vegetarian oil, and are also thinking about how to make this vegetarian oil and tofu, as long as they master the technology, it is not impossible to make it.Only this coal mine, it is clear that the coal has been used by local people for a long time, and the honeycomb coal is very simple to make, but because the Jin State Mansion has already mastered all the known coal mines in various places, these people know that honeycomb coal is simple to make, but there are no cheap raw materials, so they can only watch the Mo family make money, but there is no way.Who made Wu Licheng so treacherous, and pulled Emperor Liang Liu Kai into the gang to give the emperor silver, and said that these mines are all heavenly.And Liu Kai also acquiesced to this.Even if you look at it no matter how angry you are, who would dare to rob the things of the heavenly family, but the ministers are unwilling after all, and they have folded their bullets and impeached them, saying that the Jin State Mansion is so wanton amassing wealth, I am afraid that it will become a catastrophe or something, and openly and secretly pointed out that the Wu family is saving money and trying to rebel.Wu Licheng got the news, and immediately wrote a letter to confess for a while, saying that he would close the vegetarian oil tofu workshop and Wenchang bookstore, and return the coal mine to the royal family.During this time, Liu Kai was addicted to wine and sex, and he was still very satisfied with the fact that the Jin State Mansion could provide a lot of money.Although Liu Kai was a little moved when the courtiers played, he didn't want to force the Wu family to hand over the recipes for vegetable oil and tofu.If the Wu family doesn't do it, he won't be able to share anything else except for the coal mine, and he won't be able to share the money, thinking of this, Liu Kai is still reluctant after all.Liu Kai felt that except for one or two small things, the Wu family was generally very loyal.Moreover, if there is no money from the Jin State Mansion in vegetarian oil, tofu and the sale of books, what should I do with the excavation of the Grand Canal In addition to increasing taxes, who can raise so much money In the dry season of autumn and winter, Emperor Liu Kai of Liang was a little restless.He wanted to take advantage of the low water level to dig the Grand Canal, which he had been thinking about for a long time.Hearing Emperor Liang Liu Kai mention this matter, the ministers advised one after another.For a while, many people pointed the finger at the Jin State Mansion, saying that it was because Wu Licheng was obsessed with money, and he made a lowly living in business, and he also brought the Son of Heaven into it, and gave the emperor a lot of silver.Many scholars and scholars who had changed their views of the Jin State Mansion because of the Wenchang Bookstore also began to blame the Wu family because of this matter.Mo Shu is most disgusted with these scholars who go with the flow, follow the crowd, waver, and are easy to be used.And I think it's ridiculous about this fallacy.The Jin State Mansion gave the emperor the silver, and it was wrong that Liu Kai, who was instigated by the Wu family, went to dig the Grand Canal, did he have money, he didn't want to plan well, and he did something practical, but instead used it to harm others, this is the fault of the person who gave the money, besides, in his previous life, there was not so much money given by the Jin State Mansion to Emperor Liang Liu Kai, and he didn't think about digging a canal and building a palace in the south of the Yangtze River all day long.This can be blamed on Wu Licheng, even if Mo Shu felt injustice, he quickly calmed down.Wu Licheng and the Wu family have long been accustomed to such things and are happy to see it come to fruition.After all, Liu Kai does not need a powerful minister who is held by the world, on the contrary, the Duke of Jin Guo is pointed out by thousands of people, which is what he is happy to see.This bad reputation is the protective layer of the Wu family.Therefore, this matter did not cause any waves in the Jin State Mansion and Yuhu Villa, but the villagers of Yuhu Villa and the nearby villagers, as well as the workers and families in the mines of the Wu family all over the country were indignant about this, and they still saw that the main family did not care, so they pressed it down.Otherwise, if these people's reactions reach Liu Kai's ears, it will be detrimental to the Wu family.After this incident, Mo Shuyue saw clearly the sourness of these many literati, and at the same time considered in his heart, since these people like people so much, can they still use it in the future, for example, to build momentum for the Mo family's descendants in the future
